Nigel Adkins faces a pivotal month as Hull Cityhead coach as he waits to see what the club will do in the January transfer window.

Despite eleven summer signings the Tigers have struggled to adapt to the second tier following relegation from the Premier League last season and as a result find themselves sitting above the drop zone on goal difference alone.

Injuries have been rife this season for the Tigers, leaving Leonid Slutsky and now Adkins short on options, only accentuating the need to act in the window.
